Thank you to NetGalley, Second Sky and Ashley Metzler for an ARC copy of The Mortal Queen.

The Mortal Queen is the kind of book that grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. From the moment Aisling is forced into marriage with the ruthless fae king, the tension is high, the stakes are intense, and the world is absolutely mesmerizing.

The dynamic between Aisling and Lir is everything I love in an enemies-to-lovers romance—fiery, intense, and filled with slow-burning chemistry that keeps you hooked. Lir is the perfect mix of dangerous and intriguing, and Aisling’s journey is incredibly satisfying to watch unfold. The world-building is lush and immersive, packed with mythical creatures, dark enchantments, and plenty of twists that keep the story moving at a fast pace.

But what truly sets this book apart is the writing—it’s so good that I completely forgot about the real world while reading. Every scene pulls you deeper into the magic, making it impossible to put down. I already need the next book in the trilogy, and I can’t wait to read even more from Ashley Metzler.

If you love fantasy romance with strong characters, sizzling tension, and a gripping storyline, The Mortal Queen is a must-read and I know this series is going to be an all-time favourite!
